$75 Weekly Shopping and Menu 12-10-18

Meal plan, grocery list, and coupon deals for 12-10-18. Want to know what a family of 3 eats for $75 a week? Check back every Monday!

I have to admit: Doing my 4 Weeks to Fill Your Freezer Challenge was tough, but I’m loving eating out of my freezer this month.

I pull dinner out the night before, and just stick it in the oven come dinnertime. How convenient is that??? I’m thinking I need to do this more often!

Not only am I not dealing with dinnertime stress, I’m also saving money that I can use on things we’re out of- like laundry detergent. Next week’s stock-up list includes gallon-sized freezer bags and shredded cheddar from Sam’s, but I just redeemed my Swagbucks for a gift card so that should be in before my next shopping trip.

Here’s our simple menu for the week:

Yesterday I shopped and meal prepped! I made blueberry muffin, breakfast potatoes, lentil chickpea soup, pizza rolls and 3 batches of pancakes for the freezer. I also chopped broccoli and green onions. Then I went for a hike and my dog ate the soup that was cooling on the counter! Dang it!

Eek! You were so productive, too! Thankfully everything else seemed to be untouched. =)
